After deciding on an Improved Design website, the next step is discussion and planning, a free service to help us to understand your needs and those of your prospective customers, and to agree on the layout of your site, its style and colour, the page options and the links between them.

All websites should include a home page, to stimulate visitor's interest and to help them to navigate around your site. All other pages can be of your choosing, and might include a description or catalogue of your products or services, showing pictures or prices as appropriate, and an opportunity for customers to ask questions, or to place orders online. There are many other options, which we can suggest and discuss at the site planning stage, and you will be pleased to discover that we are fluent in real language as well as 'techno-speak'.

All the websites we produce will be created ourselves, using the latest version of Macromedia Studio, including Dreamweaver. Using these industry standard design tools, we can add graphic animation at no extra cost, but will generally do so sparingly - style will encourage visitors to re-visit your website, but we never forget that substance comes first.

Our prices for design and production are based on the number of pages you need -     £90 for a basic home page, and £70 for each additional page. Discounts are available for larger websites with pages having a common style. These prices apply to pages of up to 250 words or the equivalent in words and images. If a small site is all you need to begin with, that is all you will have to buy. More pages can be added at a later date, once you are satisfied that your investment in the web has been worthwhile.

If you have, or can produce, text that we can adapt as page content, and images that we can scan, no charges for origination will apply. If on the other hand you would like us to create copy we can do so, at a charge of £30 per hour. We promise no surprises for origination however - a firm quotation will be given at the free planning stage.
